ordering ammo - this may be a good time.

[rockriver]

with the thread.. tighten up.
and with prices much lower than a year ago.
and with u.s. threats to sanction Russia.
there is reasonable possibility of shortage of Russian made ammo.
not to mention democratic efforts to limit your rights to own weapons and ammo


I propose that this is the time for all of us procrastinators to go buy ammo.
especially if you shoot some of that communist stuff.

miked,
when I read your post, I thought no... I checked yesterday and folks still had...
I checked today...
ammoman had one brand of 762x39 and high priced.
sgammo yesterday had many brands of same, but today, very little.

based on these two retailers.. if you want some, yes. better get some today...

I just checked cabelas... they say "limited stock" but do have herters for 280..

I saw this yesterday...FWIW

Yep, I slipped into a "several HOURS long" window at AIM Surplus for some more Silver Bear 5.45x39... Yes, it was open for only a few HOURS, then closed with a SOLD OUT banner...

The 5.45x39 AK-74 ammo is easier to find in stock than AK-47 ammo, which is one of the reasons I went AK-74 route when I entered the AK realm last year... AK-47 ammo is almost impossible to find at a FAIR price, but easy to find at crazy prices.

I haven't had any issue locally with 7.62. local LGS had it this past weekend Infact i scored 160 rounds of uly LCB HP ammo. my walmart had tula last night I bought my ration.

[Lowdown3]

Just paid a 10% penalty for not ordering more a month ago.

And that really is how we should look at this folks....

[Benn Gleck]

I lucked out and drove to AIM.

Saved on shipping but had to pay sales tax. :(

[rockriver]

this isn't commie ammo, but saw
50 cal at wally world for 39.95 that was a surprise!

I can hear the blue light special lady on the intercom.

"kmart shoppers, we want you to know that we have American eagle 50 cal over in sporting goods on sale for the next
30 minutes... you know you need to stock up with it being squirrel season soon..."

[miked2345]

You must have HUGE squirrels in your area!!! :cool:

[justanothergunnut]

currently 7.62x39 is running between $200 and $215 at every show in Kalifornia. Its CHEAP and yet when the next run on ammo happens and yes it WILL happen again. Guys will be crying about hoarders and profiteers.. Buy it NOW,, so you don't have to cry like a little brat later.. LOL just sayin.

[rockriver]

thanks..
makes me wish I had one of those commie rifles.
hmmm
ld bought a ar
if I put on shades and an old straw hat, grew a beard,
maybe I could check out one of those things.
then take a road trip to kali.
to get a box or two.
hmm.


yeah... I could pad up the tummy, cotton balls in the cheeks to disguise my muscular/athletic build as I head down to the Billy's Big Boy Toy Store!
add some "Distinguished Gentlemant's Grecian Gray" to the hair. have the barber cut it so it looks like the hair is thinning.
get me a cane and limp a little... get me some glasses, and an old coffee mug
talk like I'm a southern redneck.. you know.. talk slow.. draw out your words. say things like " bless their heart."
wear white socks and wrinkled clothes. talk about Jesus, earthquakes, famines, and Godly people gettin' put in jail.
God formin' up a mighty army from the House of Israel, 1/3 of mankind dyin' off from those angels down in the 'phrates over there in Iraq.
pull egg money out of each pocket of my coverall's till I got up to $295. for one of them keelisnakof's. least that's what they used to be!
get me one of them topoftheline ones from boolgaria. not puttin' this thing on layaway. no sir! Billy's Toy Store had a whole stack of 'em! he's let me "pickem"
for an extree 5 spot!

yeah... wouldn't no one know me!

[Lowdown3]

You have too much fun with this RR. :)

Lowest I've bought x39 for in a while is $225 about a month ago before this whole mess at

https://www.ammoman.com

Everytime I go to Aim's site you have to wade through all the listings, only to find out that yes indeed it is sold out.

Ammoman has a nice clean site and in 2.5 seconds I can tell if they have "my flava" and what the price is.

I'm not a big fan for the "points and rewards" type loyalty marketing game, but I've gotten more than a few built up there. I figure if/when prices get mega stupid and I need to train, I'll use the "points" then to "save" on some ammo and still be able to get out there. You know the whole where their is a will there is a way deal, versus just not training and whining about you can't train cause ammo actually costs money... ;)
